Sir Keir Starmer is chairing his first cabinet meeting following Labour's landslide win that ended 14 years of Tory rule. It comes after the new prime minister appointed his top team on Friday afternoon - making few changes to the shadow cabinet that existed before the election.
Meanwhile, James Timpson - the chief executive whose family retail and key-cutting business is known for employing ex-offenders - will also join the Lords after being appointed prisons minister. The one notable exception was Sir Keir opting for experienced human rights lawyer Richard Hermer KC for attorney general, with Emily Thornberry having held the shadow role prior to the election. He will also become a peer to take up the job.
